Gnudi

Gnudi (Italian: [ˈɲuːdi]), also known as malfatti,^[1] are gnocchi-like dumplings made with ricotta cheese and semolina.^[2][3][4] Gnudi is the Tuscan word for 'naked' (in standard Italian nudi),^[5] the idea being that these "pillowy" balls of ricotta and spinach (sometimes without spinach) are "nude ravioli", consisting of just the filling without the pasta shell.^[6][7]

In Tuscany, it is understood that tradition dictates the dumplings are served with butter and sage, sprinkled with Parmesan or pecorino toscano cheese.^[8][9][10]
